Am I mental if I talk to myself more than I talk to my family/friends/other people? I've been talking to my imaginary friends ever since I was 5...they went away, but I just never seemed to stop talking to myself. I talk to myself as if someone else was actually there.....

It may actually be healthy to talk to yourself as you do. What you need to be concerned about is believing that it is someone else who is answering back. You are actually the best person to determine where you are and what your state of mind is. However, I would highly recommend that you talk with others as well in order to maintain a good perspective on everything.

How old are you? If you are over 12, you should probably make a concerted effort to limit your talking to yourself to only a few hours a day and get more involved with your family and friends. You won't learn anything or grow in socialization talking to yourself.

You probably are gifted and introverted. I talk to myself to but stopped doing so because I got tired of myself.
You may want to look inside yourself why you don't want to talk to other people. Also, it could have been that when you were growing up, you didn't learn how to talk to other people because you were busy talking to your imaginary friends.
The more you are aware of your negative traits, the more power you have to change it.
Good luck

It's called thinking out loud. Every one talks to themselves; you just do it out loud. Try not to do this in public too much. Other than that your normal.

What you are doing is going over your thoughts out loud. it is natural. some people do it more than others, but it is OK. It is a way for our minds to go over what we are thinking and work out whatever we are thinking about. don't worry about it.
